Not a whole lot. When I'm miserable then I'm frickin' miserable. Sometimes music does the job, other times films, but mostly I rely on my friends to cheer me up.
ice cream, pampering myself (usually hair/skin treatment, or booking to get my nails done or waxing lol or even just a bath and hot chocolate), trying to make other people happy - idk sometimes i'll give someone i haven't spoken to in a while a text to tell them i love them or how much i appreciate them, ummm.. doing stuff i've been putting off (ie coursework)
having my back rubbed or hugs. you can have an e-hug from me. im also away to pamper myself with a bath :)
read agony aunt pages. "I SLEPT WITH MY BOSS AND COLLEAGUE, NOW IM PREGNANT AND DON'T KNOW WHO'S THE FATHER, WHAT SHOULD I DO?" makes you feel a little better that at least your life isn't the only crap one. :P
lol being serious, watching my favourite tv shows (preferably the funny ones not the depressing ones) cheers me up. that or going for a walk to think things through.

Urghh, either music, walking (somehow...) or energy drinks :P
Lie in my bed and/or listening to some music.
err nothing really I just ride it out in ma racing car
unless someone attempts to cheer me up but no one cares so i dont get cheered up by anyone :(
Listening to or playing music really. Like Chris (I think) said, when I'm miserable it normallyyy means I'm really down in the dumps and takes a lot to lift me out of it.
that's not a pointless post?Quote:

I don't really feel miserable a lot of the time, haha.
If I was I think I would either listen to music or have a cuddle with my mum and talk about stuff :$
Apparently answering a question is pointless posting. Had the same problem in the "best job" thread a while back, I don't get how this keeps happeningQuote:

Anyway, to answer the question, when I'm feeling a bit down I just tend to play music or watch funny tv shows. :P
oh i got one!!!
gta killing sprees
I try to do things on my own which allow me to be anonymous like go to a museum or for a walk and usually it's tranquil enough to make me a bit more settled.
I don't find the hole ice-cream/pampering thing really works for me
oh but retail therapy does - even if it's just a coffee and a nice salad
like today went to central, sat in a park in the sun and had a frappe and some sushi yumyum
music and sugar cheers me up the most. Or talking to friends
The signs of Spring; sounds of the birds and the buds opening.
But then I do gardening, so :P
Usually when I'm down I'll watch a movie but that hasn't seemed to be working recently. When I'm really down I just prefer my own company. Oh, sometimes I'll talk to someone when I'm really upset, but about them and not me so I can concentrate on someone else rather than my own problems.
I listen to my favorite songs, watch movies, drink cold water, eat ice cream, spend a night at my friend's house or go for a walk. well, those are what i did when i feel miserable. and all those pampering stuff like manicure whatev is just a waste of time to me.
wow. so classicQuote:

Umm talking to my dog. :P
Can't believe I forgot to mention this before, but quotes are a good source for cheering me up as well. They're so good at putting life into perspective, and a good quote can cure so many tainted thoughts. After all, "a quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself." It's amazing how inspiring some people can be. http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/lifeQuote:

Listen to an upbeat, positive song.
I feel Love on Top by Beyoncé is good, or most of the stuff by Vocaloid Hatsune Miku.
And then go and get a hug from the cuddliest person in your house ;£

honestly? smoking a load of weed or taking a load of sleeping tablets and sedatives and drifting off to sleep for a good 24 hours or so. i know it's a stupid solution but i can be a danger to myself when i'm miserable, which seems to be increasingly frequent. sucks. >_>
